As a movie that virtually NO ONE has ever heard of, this one is surprisingly decent, and fits in well with the other b-lister horror movies of the time, such as Dracula's daughter or the Mummy sequels. The production values are fairly week though, and not up to the standards of the time as seen in other films, such as those produced by Universal. The poor lighting and audio make it feel as if this movie were shot in the early 1930s, not the 1940s (And there was an ocean of difference in quality within that short ten-year span back then).

George Zucco really shines in the dual roles of playing twin brothers, and in some scenes even manages to come off as quite eerie. Dwight Frye is there and does his usual trademark over-the-top scene chomping. Not exactly top-tier talent, but enjoyable nonetheless, and gives us just enough to make us "feel" as if we are watching a Universal Monsters movie. If ONLY they were able to nab some of that classic Hans Salter/Frank Skinner stock audio track.

All in all, not a bad flick. For a movie with a running time that is barely over an hour, it is definitely worth a visit if you are in the mood to get your old-school spook on.

So brother "Edwin" is peacefully laid to rest by twin "Lloyd", only - well, that's what he thinks - and when his brother returns to seeks vengeance on him and his family we have a good old fashioned battle of good versus evil. George Zucco plays the twins and as usual, keeps the plot moving along in quite an eery fashion as the locals start to turn up mysteriously dead and the villagers start to suspect our good "Edwin" It's been lit with half a dozen candles, which in this case actually helps create extra atmosphere but the ending reverts to type and is really quite disappointing. It's only an hour and is, frankly, no worse than many of the other contemporaneous Vampire/horror films made during WWII.
